Espresso

Once again delish! The breakfast burrito with a fruit side… perfect for late lunch!
Love love love you guys!

I’ve given this place several chances and they still fail!
You have a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ chance on having your coffee drink made correctly. Even with specific instructions, decent tip & they can’t get it right. Cappuccinos are not lattes!
Worse, I saw the register girl placing all the cookies on the tray with her bare hands… yes… the ones that she is using to handle cash. YUCK!

this place is closed

Very urban chic! Their chai tea latte is one of the best I’ve had in Vegas. Their breakfast items are over-​priced, especially since their bagels are supermaket Sara Lee brand; however, they have a honey-​butter they serve with them that absolutely makes up for it.

I was one of those college students who stay at Starbucks (215/​Eastern) late at nights and wait for an open table just to study with my fellow classmates, then I realized how ridiculous I am to study at a busy and crowded place.
So, I decided to find a new little coffee shop and found this place! Its a very unique place and very comfortable to relax and even study.
I love their chai latte it has a very pleasant taste and it has some spice to it and it was just perfect.
Also, Im a big fan of hot chocolates and I tried theirs and its not too bad, but I had better.
I gotten to know the manager there and he’s a great fellow & always checking up on my buddies & I.
Great place especially if you want to get away from Starbucks.

Nice coffee shop but terrible lighting for studying unless you’re sitting by the windows during the day. If you’re more in the mood to chill, talk or play a board game with friends you’ll probably enjoy the atmosphere. Oh, and the espresso is pretty decent too.

I’ve been told Harvard students can’t fail a course, but the worst grade they can get is a «gentleman’s C». Pretty much the rating I would give this place since it has disappointed me on two occasions and possesses potential to be great, but can’t really give it a rating below 3 stars since I reserve those for places which are clearly lacking in quality or ambience with little to no redeemable qualities.
Located off of Eastern in a relative bustling retail area, ideal location to grab a post-​meal coffee or dessert (which makes their business strategy of closing shop at 7pm everyday on par with Netflix’ decision to split their streaming and delivery service). Sleek modern furniture and nice shaded outdoor seating, it has all the makings for a European café oasis in the desert serving Illy coffee, various pastries, panini sandwiches, and croissants. Free wifi minus code and spacious surroundings make it ideal for those wishing to study or catch up on work.
The downside are the baristas. Perhaps I’ve been spoiled from the coffeehouses in the pacific northwest, but I think there is an artisanship to crafting these beverages and these folks are clearly lacking both in hospitality and technical skill. My first trip I ordered a macchiato, which is expresso «marked» with foam. What I ended up with was a cup of foam marked with expresso. Second trip I decided to play it safe and order a small iced mocha since their menu indicated coffee drinks served hot or iced was priced at $ 3.35. When I placed my order, the price came out to $ 4.27. The explanation I got was that since their small cups for the iced drink holds more ounces, they had to adjust accordingly… seriously? I’m sure when you factor in the ounces occupied by the ice, it actually ends up being less volume than the hot mocha, but I wasn’t ready to get into a physics debate with Ms. Archimedes. Granted, the price of this iced mocha works out to be similar in price to one found at Starbucks or Coffee Bean, but the failed expectations and lack of attention to customer service was noteworthy. Only time will tell whether this place will achieve it’s full potential or be drowned into caffeinated oblivion, much like my macchiato.

Great espresso + velvety smooth tiramisu + music + friendly staff + free wifi= Sandra’s new hotspot!!!

Good vibe! Coffee is above average. If I had more time, I would have loved to sit down a drink my Americano just to take it all in. Would go back!

Espresso is a nice, mellow place that isn’t your typical coffee shop. They have plenty of seating to accommodate someone studying alone, or with a few friends. The music is faint, but still noticeable.
I always leave feeling glad I stopped by for a latte.
To get a feel for the music, one of the songs playing was by, Jazzamor — Fly Me To The Moon.
Gives you an idea of the vibe.
Pro: Clean and well kept
Variety of snacks and pastries
Cons: A bit over priced
Cashiers could be friendlier

Beautiful place in a great location.
Pros: Clean
Nice design
Serve Illy
Have some food and pastry options
Outdoor seating
Cons: Expensive (anytime you charge more than Starbucks, you are pushing it)
Slow
Employees need some training in friendliness
Not open late
Risk life and limb pulling in off Eastern ave

Once my favorite, it no longer seems to have quite the same charm. They used to have some very nice loose leaf teas, but now it’s pretty much the same thing you’d find in a store.
It seems that some times you get service to your table, other times the call you up to the bar.
This shop is going through the right motions but it has lost the intangibles that made it worth driving across town for.

I’ve been to Espresso once before a long time ago, but I don’t seem to recall what I ordered on that particular visit. So I’m glad I got the chance to revisit this coffee shop again on a lovely Sunday afternoon. The layout of this coffee shop is interesting– very rectangular. At the front of the coffee shop there are tables and chairs, and at the back of the shop are couches and coffee tables. There’s a flat screen TV mounted high above the open kitchen, and if I remember correctly, a bookcase near the couches (?). During this visit, football was playing on TV, which I thought was a little unusual for a coffee shop, but overall, Espresso was a good place to talk while sipping on beverages, usually coffee in nature.
On to the drinks! The menu has a wide variety of drinks, including coffee drinks (Lattes, Cappuccinos, etc.), teas (available by pot or cup), and smoothies. I had a small Mocha with non-​fat milk and no whipped cream. My drink came steaming hot in a glass cup. It was pretty good and not too sweet, but I wanted more coffee and less milk. Also, at the bottom of my drink, remnants of chocolate powder were left behind. Anyways, extra star for free Wi-​Fi without a code!

Espresso is a bit of an odd bird. If you didn’t know better, you’d think it is a chain. Its slickness (flat screen TV for a menu, Illy offerings) suggests that it is corporate, but from what I hear, it is an independent coffee shop. I pretty much have to be a fan of independent coffee shops as long as they provide some tasty beverages, a comfortable space and free wifi.
The coffees are Illy, which I find to be a pretty delicious coffee. On my last visit, I had a chai latte, and the chai was average, not particularly spicy and a tad too sweet. I probably wouldn’t order it again. As for the space, there are plenty of spots to take a seat from standard tables and chairs to slick modern couches. The atmosphere isn’t particularly cozy, but it is clean – an ideal place to host a meeting over coffee. Free WiFi is easy to access, no mysterious codes to hunt down!
Overall, a respectable coffee shop, especially if you take your coffee modern.

Unpredictable is perhaps the best way to describe Espresso. Sometimes the coffee and the service is great, sometimes it’s sub-​par at best. The prices are always high. They do have a couple of solid things going for them, though. The coffee menu is good, there is tons of seating, and a spacious outdoor patio. The Starbucks down the street is always full, and you can’t get a seat outside if the weather is anywhere between 40f and 100f. So yeah, I still come here semi-​regularly, because even though things vary, it never gets that bad, it’s open into the evening, and they have plenty of places outside to sit so that you can enjoy a cigar with your coffee.
PRO-​TIP: If you don’t smoke, you can go inside. I can’t. Remember that.

The staff and environment are awesome… Hands down if you are in the Henderson area a great place to go and hang out, or if you are on a date needing a place to talk, a great place to go. The coffee is not amazing but better than anything you would get from a chain. As far as coffee houses in Las Vegas it is #2 on my list but still compared to everything else in Las Vegas a great place to go and spend sometime.

Best americano in the city… Hands down.
Best baristas… coolest manager… just fun people.
Cool atmosphere… gr8 colors… play games… hook up to wifi… good eats 2… I drive from the lake to get their large Americano and am greeted by name with a smile every time. Love my illy espresso… and my sweet peeps at espresso café. Thanks guys for making it a gr8 experience,
Love ya,
Robin

I love this coffee shop. I am used to coffee shops with that cosy european atmosphere that is very welcoming, which is what first attracted me to it and the fact that is is NOT a chain. However, when I first tried their Raspberry Truffle iced Espresso, I was totally hooked.
The menu is very clean and simple and with free Wifi to seal the deal it is the perfect place for someone like me to hang out, relax, work if I want to and drink coffee. The staff are all lovely and never seem to forget how I like my coffee. They are like my second family.

Walking into this café, the décor and ambiance are minimalist and chic. Furnishings include modern Italian leather sofas and chocolate brown walls. Music ranges from mellow jazz to slow indie tunes. I can just plop down on one of their couches and stay here all day with my laptop!
The food is comprised mostly of sandwiches/​paninis, salads, desserts, and coffee, although I’ve come here for breakfast and ordered lox and cream cheese. Personally, I think it is pretty good and the flavors are simple and clean. My favorite dish is the bacon, avocado, and mozzarella grilled cheese sandwich, which comes with a side salad and balsamic vinaigrette dressing and a side serving of sun chips. I also love how they have a pretty good selection of specialty coffees. My personal favorite in this area is the Raspberry Truffle. I don’t mind the prices and don’t think they’re exorbitant. Overall with the price, you get good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

Been here at least 50 times
